Trump reportedly plans to ease methane rules for oil and gas operations

Bloomberg reports, citing an administration official, that Trump was expected to unveil a proposal to dial back federal methane requirements for oil and gas operations at a Lubbock, Texas, rally on October 27. The proposal is being pitched as a way to boost domestic energy production and lower costs. The New York Times says the Biden administration had sought to curb methane leaks, a major driver of climate change.
